Please give me your redemption song, I need one real bad

No one seems to write them now that john and bob are dead

All I know is

We need one right now.

If life's another game of chess, we lost a couple pieces

The ones who've had a dream for us, the legends who will lead us

All I know is

We need them right now.

The darkness makes it hard to see the light

But the time is always right to do what's right

If you only knew, I'm just as scared as you

You're not the only one.

Is it ignorant to say that war is just no longer needed

And childish to think that love gives life a higher meaning

All I know is

We need love right now.

The people we have given trust end up corrupt and rotten

They start with great ideals but on the way that's all forgotten

All I know is

We need hope right now.

The darkness makes it hard to see the light

But the time is always right to do what's right

If you only knew, I'm just as scared as you

You're not the only one.

You're not the only one who's had enough

Give me your hand so we can stand up

You're not the only one done waiting

For changes to come.

(You're not the only one who's had enough)

The darkness makes it hard to see the light

(Give me your hand so we can stand up)

But the time is always right to do what's right

(You're not the only one done waiting)

If you only knew, I'm just as scared as you

(For changes to come)

You're not the only one.

Please give me your redemption song, I need one real bad

No one seems to write them now that john and bob are dead

All I know is

We need one right now.
